The King James Version Bible

Job 32:8-21

  1. But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

  2. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

  3. Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.

  4. Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

  5. Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:

  6. Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

  7. Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.

  8. They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.

  9. When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

  10. I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.

  11. For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

  12. Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

  13. I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.

  14. Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
